To use these systemvm templates, download the template and use cloud-install-sys-tmplt to preseed systemvm templates as documented on the installation docs \[4\], or extract and copy the template to appropriate secondary storage path for ex. for Xen: template/tmpl/1/1/

The buildjob would create xen, kvm and hyperv appliance. For VMWare there is a non-automated workaround:

1. Download the vmdk

2. Using VMWare Fusion, create a VM with 256MB Ram but don't start the VM

3. Using ovftool, export VMWare compatible ova:

/Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/VMware\ OVF\ Tool/ovftool --compress=9 ~/Documents/Virtual\ Machines.localized/systemvmtemplate-vmware.vmwarevm/systemvmtemplate-vmware.vmx /Bhaisaab/systemvmtemplate-vmware.ova

4. If necessary install vmware-tools, else the opensource alternative open-vm-tools is preinstalled.
